<p>I decided to publish the current state of the library I created and use to deal with measurements in my own projects. It's still not complete but it's usable and seams to work well.</p>
<p>The source code can be consulted at:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/migtavares/units">units at GitHub</a></li>
</ul>
<p>It's published with a very permissive Apache License 2.0 but I would like to know if anyone else is using it.</p>
<p>The library api docs is available at <a href="http://bitpipeline.eu/apidocs/units/1.9-SNAPSHOT/">units apidocs</a>.</p>
<p>For now it has support for:</p>
<ul>
<li>all basic dimensions (as defined by SI);</li>
<li>some units in all the basic dimensions (more can be added);</li>
<li>quotient dimensions and units</li>
<li>product dimensions and units</li>
<li>prefixed units</li>
<li>measurements and measurements listeners. By design it supports only float and double type of measurements. Think of measurements listeners as wires that connect electronic components;</li>
</ul>
